Goldobin was released by CSKA Moscow on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

In 21 games this season, Goldobin registered four goals and seven helpers for CSKA. After spending the past season primarily in the AHL, Goldobin inked a two-year deal with the KHL club but it seems has worn out his welcome. It's not immediately clear if the 25-year-old winger will rejoin the Canucks organization, yet the timing would suggest he is preparing to attend training camp.

Goldobin agreed Saturday to a two-year contract with KHL club CSKA Moscow, Igor Eronko of Sport-Express reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goldobin appeared in a Nov. 27 game for the Canucks but has otherwise spent the 2019-20 campaign with Vancouver's AHL affiliate in Utica, putting up 50 points in 51 contests. With the AHL season under an indefinite suspension that isn't expected to be lifted until at least May, Goldobin will be allowed to pursue an opportunity in his home country of Russia. Goldobin, who appeared in 125 regular-season games at the NHL level between San Jose and Vancouver the past five years, said he plans to explore a move back to North America once his contract with CSKA Moscow comes to an end, per Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040 Vancouver.

Vancouver reassigned Goldobin to AHL Utica on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Goldobin's demotion suggests Tyler Motte (lower body) or Michael Ferland (concussion) may be ready to return soon. The 24-year-old was a healthy scratch for all but one of the five games he was with the Canucks for, and he only logged 8:37 of ice time during his lone appearance, so he can be ignored in all fantasy settings.

The Canucks recalled Goldobin from AHL Utica on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Goldobin has been fantastic in the minors this year, leading Utica with an impressive 20 points in 18 games. The 24-year-old winger could make his season debut with Vancouver as soon as Wednesday against the Penguins.

Goldobin was waived by the Canucks for the purpose of reassignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Goldobin played in 63 games for the Canucks last year mainly in a third-line role, producing 27 points with nine on the man advantage. The Canucks brought in J.T. Miller this summer to man the second line, and Goldobin lost the battle for the remaining right-wing roles to Jake Virtanen and Josh Leivo. The 23-year-old will start the season with AHL Utica if he clears waivers.

Goldobin signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Canucks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Goldobin was pretty productive while skating in a middle-six role with the Canucks last campaign, notching seven goals and 27 points in 63 contests. The 23-year-old Russian will have a similar role with Vancouver in 2019-20, and could threaten the 35-point mark if he's able to play a full 82-game season.

Vancouver extended Goldobin a qualifying offer Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Goldobin had his best season yet as a pro in 2018-19, setting career highs in games played (63), assists (20) and points (27). The 2014 first-round pick should step into a middle-six role for the Canucks next campaign.

Goldobin will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup with Dallas, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goldobin has just four points in his past 23 appearances. This isn't his first trip to the press box this season. The coaching staff is trying to send a message, but Goldobin hasn't been able to meet expectations. He's not a shutdown forward, so more offense needs to be generated -- or at the very least, more scoring opportunities. He'll need to make a positive impact in more areas of the game if he's to remain a regular in the lineup.

Goldobin recorded his 20th assist on a power play in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win against the visiting Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old has eight power-play helpers in 2018-19, as Goldobin logged an impressive 3:22 of PP ice time in Wednesday's win. Through 58 games, the young winger is averaging 15:01 of TOI per night, nearly three minutes above his career high set just last season (12:20).

Goldobin scored his seventh goal of the season in Monday's 4-0 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Goldobin has played in 10 of the Canucks' 12 games in February, scoring twice and adding an assist. His production has dipped since the calendar flipped to 2019, with only three of his 26 points this season coming since Jan 1. The first round pick from 2014 will need to regain his scoring touch to avoid being healthy scratched, especially with the Canucks trading for left wing Tanner Pearson on Monday.
